Hey guys! I am just asking you all for prayers. An old friend of mine is scheduled to die at the hands of the state of Texas tomorrow! I don't know if Reggie has asked for any stays or anything like that. He stopped communicating with me a few years ago, after the 2nd appeal was denied. Please, pray for him. May God welcome him with open arms!! Thanks ya'll.

Well, an old friend of mine is scheduled for execution in Texas (of course) on May 9, 2002. I just wanted to tell you a little bit about him. His name is Reginald Reeves. He is funny and smart. Reggie grew up in a very poor community, where most kids really don't have much of a chance. He has a large family that loves him dearly. They have all forgiven him for his crime. Reggie loves music. We used to write each other, and in every letter he sent to me, he talks about a new song that has touched him in some way. One of his favorites use to be "I Believe I Can Fly." Reggie quit writing me a few years ago. He withdrew from everyone. I believe he is just trying to make it a little less painful for us all. I miss Reggie, and I will always remember our friendship.
HUNTSVILLE, Texas - An apologetic convicted killer was executed Thursday for the fatal beating and rape of a 14-year-old girl he befriended after she ran away from a group foster home.
In a lengthy final statement, Reginald Reeves, 28, apologized repeatedly and preached forgiveness.
"I pray we may all learn to love and forgive and have peace in this world," he said while strapped to the death chamber gurney. "The only way we're going to find peace in the world is to have forgiveness. If you don't learn to forgive, you're not hurting anyone but yourself."

My heart just hurts and it is hard to think that people justify murder with murder. Only God is suppost to seek vengence. He says vengence is His.. How do the prison official who carry out these orders sleep at night???
